Management of Stem Rot in Rice/Paddy
The stem rot disease of paddy is caused by Sclerotium oryzae which shows visible symptoms and affects the crop yield adversely.
Small, black-coloured lesions are the initial symptom followed by enlarged spots along the inner leaf sheath. At the later stage, these infected areas start rotting and the mass of fungus will appear black. When the infection turns severe, it causes death to the affected plants and causes loss to the farmers.
The fungal spores of stem rot of paddy can last longer so it is essential to control its spread. It is crucial to practice preventive measures before sowing the next crops.
